...and I have no idea what to expect! Will I be super sore afterwards? Does the procedure take a while? I'm nervous lol.

It really doesn't hurt, your mouth will probably still be numb for a while and then your teeth will feel a little strange for a week or so but it's really no big deal.
It doesn't take too long.

I've had fillings done without the novacaine--it's not very painful unless it's a very deep filling. the worst part is the super numbness afterwards. I feel like a fool trying to eat or drink until it's worn off

I think the anxiety, for me, is worse than the pain. They will numb you up so you don't feel anything actual pain, but you'll hear the drill noise and feel pressure. Some places provide headphones for you, which I think is a great idea. It will be over before you know it, but you'll probably be numb for a few hours and might not really be in the mood for dinner. Treat yourself to something nice tonight-- a bath, ice cream (once you can feel and eat), a manicure...

I had to get my first filling(s) ever last week! I was nervous to. One was a little deeper, so they numbed that one with novacaine. the other was pretty shallow so I opted to do that one without any numbing. It didn't hurt any more than getting a flu shot. More uncomfortable than anything. I had a bad headache the rest of the day. My mouth still feels a little weird, but I'm almost used to it now. My teeth feel so much bigger, ha.
